Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back TECHNIQUE OF THE CHOICE OF THE KEY DESIGN PARAMETERS OF THE PERSPECTIVE LOW-ORBITAL SMALL SPACECRAFT OF REMOTE SENSING OF EARTH D.A. Mosin, A.V. Severenko, I.A. Urtmincev In article the technique of the choice of the key design parameters of the small spacecraft belonging to the class of problems of discrete combination theory is offered. The requirements defining shape of the small spacecraft are considered. The key design parameters most of which define design shape of the small spacecraft are determined and guarantee performance of criterion functions. The solution of a problem of the choice of the target equipment and the onboard providing systems of the minimum mass of the small spacecraft is proposed. Keywords: small spacecraft, requirements, design parameters, target equipment, onboard equipment. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.6.2021.1221 Pp. 03-12.
